The Mock Gambling Thread is a competition that is a part gambling, part predicting, and part forecasting contest. Each and every member starts with fictious $1,000 that you can gamble as much or as little as you like on the week's feature game. There are two ways to increase your cash:

1) Bet on the outcome of the featured game each week (with the spread). The featured game will be chosen each week from among the nationally televised games.

2) There will be a number of questions that will ask you to make predictions or to forecast certain outcomes across the NFL during the week. Correct answers earn you cash. You do not lose cash for wrong answers. The types of questions will vary each week, as will the amount of cash they can earn you.

The competition will continue through NFL season. At the conclusion of the Super Bowl the user with the most "cash" left will be the winner.

THE RULES
1) You make your bet and answer the questions simply by posting on the thread each week with your pick for the featured game along with your bet, followed by your answers to the prediction questions.

2) Everyone starts with $1,000. If a user doesn't start until week 3, they still start with $1,000. Your best bet it to get in early and play every week.

3) If you reach $0 you are not out of the competition. You can't bet on the feature game during weeks that you are broke, but you can answer the prediction questions and hope to earn cash to gamble the following week.

4) IMPORTANT: I will set a deadline for getting your entries for the week in. It in imperative that you make your post before the deadline (usually before kick-off of the first game of the week). Any posts made or edited after that deadline will not be counted for that week.

5) Work and coaching duties allowing, I will attempt to post the results and the next week's game/questions each Tuesday.

6) For the official recording of stats/yardage NFL.com will be used.

7) Accounts created within the current calendar month are not eligible to play and any entries from such accounts will not be counted.

** DO NOT use the QuickReply box to make your entries. It can mis-format them and make it a pain in the ass for me to score.

DEADLINE ONE FOR QUESTIONS 6, 7 and 8 - 9/13/2012 (Thursday) 8:19pm EASTERN
DEADLINE TWO FOR WEEK 2 ENTRIES - 9/16/2012 (Sunday) 12:59pm EASTERN
ANY ENTRIES MADE OR EDITED AFTER THE DEADLINES WILL BE INVALID
